Psalms 52

1 Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?

猛者よなんぢ何なればあしき企圖をもて自らほこるや神のあはれみは恒にたえざるなり

2 All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.

なんぢの舌はあしきことをはかり利き剃刀のごとくいつはりをおこなふ

3 You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.

なんぢは善よりも惡をこのみ正義をいふよりも虚偽をいふをこのむ (セラ)

4 You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.

たばかりの舌よなんぢはすべての物をくひほろぼす言をこのむ

5 Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.

されば神とこしへまでも汝をくだき また汝をとらへてその幕屋よりぬきいだし生るものの地よりなんぢの根をたやしたまはん (セラ)

6 The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:

義者はこれを見ておそれ彼をわらひていはん

7 “Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”

神をおのが力となさず その富のゆたかなるをたのみ その惡をもて己をかたくせんとする人をみよと

8 But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.

然はあれどわれは神の家にあるあをき橄欖の樹のごとし 我はいやとほながに神のあはれみに依賴まん

9 I will confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.

なんぢこの事をおこなひ給ひしによりて我とこしへになんぢに感謝し なんぢの聖徒のまへにて聖名をまちのぞまん こは宜しきことなればなり
